NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-08-MA-029
Document Number: W200832600048
The Miami Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio
station on 97.7 MHz was allegedly operating in the Miami area. On April 2,
2008, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques
that radio signals on frequency 97.7 MHz were emanating from 1270 NW 62nd
St., Miami, Florida. According to Florida business records, Campbell &
Everett Entertainment operates a business from this location. The
Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of a
broadcast station on 97.7 MHz at this location in Miami, Florida.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation that
complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R. S:S: 15.1 et seq. The field strength of the signal on
frequency 97.7 MHz was measured at 10,132 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at
2060 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 uV/m at 3
meters for non-licensed devices. Thus, this station is operating in
violation of 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of the
Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe
penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in
rem arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and criminal
sanctions including imprisonment. (see 47 U.S.C. S:S: 401, 501, 503 and
510).
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY.
You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference the
listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.
S: 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff will use
all relevant material information before it to determine what, if any,
enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with FCC Rules.
This will include any information that you disclose in your reply.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
